“The confection made of Cacao called Chocolate or Chocoletto which may be had in diverse places in London, at reasonable rates, is of wonderful efficacy for the procreation of children: for it not only vehemently incites to Venus, but causes conception in women . . . and besides that it preserves health, for it makes such as take it often to become fat and corpulent, fair and amiable.”
-- William H. Coles -
“Herbes... comfort the wearied braine with fragrant smells which yielde a certaine kind of nourishment.”
